Chapter 318: Attacking Yanjing 2
"Could it be that the imperial court was afraid that it would take over the great merit alone, so it sent the Weibian army of Zhongshan Mansion to come over and get a piece of the pie? But what's the use of this one commanding cavalry? How is the leader still a woman? Liu Yanqing looked at Zhao Fujin and the others who ran over, and muttered to himself in his heart.
Seeing that it was the banner of the Weibian Army, Liu Yanqing's Chinese army led Zhao Fujin and others to Liu Yanqing's side.
Pan Zhu thought that he was the general of Zhao Fujin's palm print, and he was Zhao Fujin's nephew, so he stepped forward, gave Liu Yanqing a little salute, and said, "I've seen Liu Dutong." I am Pan Zhu, the first class of the Inner Temple, and I am ordered to escort Emperor Mao De to Yanshan Mansion this time, and there is also a cavalry escort under the command of the Weibian Army. Dare to ask why Liu Dutong fought with Wansheng's army? ”
Although Pan Zhu said it clearly, Liu Yanqing was confused: When did the imperial court send the emperor to travel by order? But since this Weibian army is not here to grab credit, there is no need to worry.
Although the emperor is not a minister of the court, this courtesy of the monarch cannot be ignored. Liu Yanqing first saw Zhao Fujin with the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and then said to Zhao Fujin: "This Wansheng army has reverted to impermanence, and it is only said that it has returned to the imperial court, but after occupying this Yanjing City, it is unexpectedly bad and wants to be self-reliant, and the ministers are ordered by Tong Xuanfu to lead the troops to encircle and suppress the Wansheng army. ”
Zhao Fujin was standing at this time, just to see the movement of Yanjing City, only to see that above the gate of Yanjing City, there was a handsome flag with the word "Zhou", and there were several people standing below, who seemed to be the generals of the Wansheng Army. Zhao Fujin asked, "Who are those people under the banner of the city?" ”
Liu Yanqing looked at Zhao Fujin as he said, glanced at it, turned his head to Zhao Fujin and replied: "Emperor Ji, those three people under the banner are the three leaders of the Wansheng Army. Standing in the west, wearing armor, it is Yang Keshi, the commander of our army; Standing on the east side, holding a spear in his hand, it was Gao Yuan, who pretended to be a soldier, and took advantage of the fact that our army was repelled by the soldiers, and wantonly plundered and robbed our army's armor and weapons, grain, grass and horses, which is very hateful! Liu Yanqing said Gao Yuan with a gritted tooth expression. After Liu Yanqing's army was defeated and returned to Xiongzhou, he also learned from some defeated soldiers and spies that on the way back from the Lugouhe camp, it was Gao Yuan who led the Wansheng army, wearing the armor of the Fan army, and pretending to be the Fan army to plunder them, so that his soldiers now can't even get together all the armor and weapons.
"Oh," Zhao Fujin couldn't feel Liu Yanqing's pain, and sighed disapprerovingly, and then said, "What ......is the name of the person in the middle?"
"Exactly!" Speaking of Zhou Nan, this is also a person who makes Liu Yanqing hate to the core. If it weren't for Zhou Nan, how could Wan Shengjun take advantage of the opportunity of him to lead his troops to fight fiercely with the Fan soldiers, pick up a big bargain, and lead the cavalry to attack the defenseless Yanjing City? This great achievement in capturing Yanjing City should have been his! Seeing that Zhou Nan is so insidious and cunning this time, the bad idea of Gao Yuan pretending to be a soldier to rob them must also be from this surnamed Zhou, speaking of which, the most hateful thing is this Zhou Nan!
"This week, Nan was insidious and cunning, so that the trick deceived Yizhou, and borrowed people from Yizhou to deceive Zhuozhou, and it was not enough to deceive Zhuozhou, but also to kill Guo Yaoshi and three other officials of Zhuozhou's Changsheng Army. With this merit, he asked the court for money and food, but in the end, when the ministers and soldiers were fighting outside Yanjing City, they took advantage of the situation to rush into Yanjing first, but now they have to establish themselves as kings. It's really abominable! This surnamed Zhou bullied men and women in Yanjing City, and I heard that he also forcibly married the princess of Fanren as his wife, but he did not let go of any woman with some beauty. Liu Yanqing sprinkled all his anger on Zhou Nan, and told Zhao Fujin what he had heard, imagined, and fabricated about Zhou Nan.
"Still forcibly marrying a princess?" Zhao Fujin asked in surprise.
"Yes! I heard that I still forced a minister to be a matchmaker, but if the minister didn't comply, he was killed by a knife surnamed Zhou, and he was buried in the north of the city casually. Regarding Zhou Nan's "accusation", Liu Yanqing almost opened his mouth to say it, and even he was surprised at the level of his fabrication of lies. fervor
Zhao Fujin was so angry that his eyebrows rose upside down, and he said to Liu Yanqing: "This lewd thief! This surnamed Zhou is so shameless, so hateful! He asked Liu Dutong to defeat the bandit army as soon as possible and invade Yanjing City. It is better to relieve the refugees from hanging upside down as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that he had successfully sent Zhou Nan a black cauldron of adultery, shamelessness, and misdeeds, Liu Yanqing was secretly happy in his heart, his face was silent, and he bent down and replied: "Yes, please take the emperor to retreat, and the ministers can command the army to attack the city." ”
Zhao Fujin nodded, led the Weibian army and the four guards to retreat, and there happened to be a mound behind the Song army, so Zhao Fujin ordered someone to park the carriage on the mound, and he climbed on top of the carriage to watch how Liu Yanqing defeated the thief surnamed Zhou, who bullied men and women and forcibly married the princess.
Liu Yanqing saw that Emperor Ji and the others had retreated to the back of the army, thinking that with Emperor Ji and the people of the Weibian Army, he couldn't lose this time no matter what. Liu Yanqing immediately gave an order to the heralds around him: regroup the formation and continue the attack. Whoever is the first to cross the moat will be rewarded with a hundred strokes and promoted to one level; Whoever is the first to rush to the head of the city will be rewarded with a thousand guan and promoted to three levels.
For a time, Liu Yanqing's reward spread throughout the army. After all, who wouldn't want to take the risk of fighting these soldiers?
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and when the formation has been reorganized, and the infantry army is slowly attacking again, the morale is obviously much higher than just now. The generals who urged the battle in the back also tried their best to shout and command, hoping to take advantage of this morale to attack the moat in one fell swoop.
Finally within the range of the bows and arrows of both sides, the Song army raised their shields neatly on their side, and the crossbowmen behind began to release arrows. And the defenders at the head of the city immediately returned the color, and it was still the Song army that suffered. However, the heavy reward of 100 times tempted the Song soldiers to rush forward desperately. When they arrived at the river, all the Song troops scattered in formation, each holding knives, guns, sticks and other weapons and preparing to cross the river.
As if frightened by the momentum of the Song army, Yanjing City stopped shooting arrows on his head, and Zhao Fujin looked up, only to see that it was the "lewd thief" who raised his right arm and stopped the archery of the Wansheng army at the head of the city.
Zhao Fujin was wondering, only to see a soldier standing next to the "lewd thief" at the head of the city, took a long arrow with smoke in smoke, pulled the string with a bow, and shot the long arrow with a strange thing tied to the arrow into the moat.
Zhao Fujin was about to open his mouth to laugh at the soldiers who were shooting arrows at the head of the city, when he suddenly heard a muffled sound of "tom", and saw that the water waves of the moat in front of him were like a giant dragon coming out of the water, setting off a few zhang high splashes, which were very magnificent under the reflection of the sun in the sky.
"Explode the arrow!" A soldier of the Weibian Army suddenly exclaimed.
